Your Rights and Responsibilities

You have specific rights and responsibilities as a resident, and we have certain rights and responsibilities as a landlord. These are set out in detail in your Tenancy Agreement and also summarised in your Residents Handbook.

Health and Safety

Your health and safety responsibilities are outlined in our guide Your Home, Your Safety, which you receive when you move in.

We are currently carrying out fire risk assessments in blocks of flats, if you would like a copy of the fire risk assessment for your block please contact our Customer Service Team who will be happy to provide you with a copy.

If yould like to the fire service to carry out a home safety check please click here.

Service Charges

At Colne we update service charges annually and are transparent about this.

Latest on Right to Buy 2

The Government is discussing putting Right To Buy 2 in place under the new Housing Bill.

This would open up the Right to Buy for tenants who currently only have the Right to Acquire (ie Assured Tenancy holders).

Those eligible will have the right to buy their home at a substantial discount.

Five housing associations are trialling the new Right to Buy 2 scheme to confirm the eligibility criteria and how the process will work moving forward. Colne is not involved in the trial but will be learning from it.

If you hold an Assured Tenancies we advise you begin enquiring about the Right to Buy on your home from May onwards, when there should be more information available.
